This Heart Machinery

歌詞

Outside your house, 1993, I think I left some essential part of me I try to trace my steps back I try to play the playback But when I see your face, I cannot breathe And I can't figure out this heart machinery Sometimes it stops for days and really worries me And I can't form the words and often I can't speak And when I hear your voice, I have to leave And there's an actress in a film who looks like you And I can't watch that film the whole way through I'd like to call you up I'd like to get me straight but 10 years on, it's just too late The saddest photograph, a splinter in my heart, Is one of you and me, right at the very start And I can't recognise the person next to you The mirror fogs It breaks in two
